How To Study At The Last Minute
Dear all,
When exams are near you tend to be nervous whether you studied or not. You will definitely experience this feeling. It shows that you are normal and you are human. Its ok. Relax take a deep breath. I felt extremely nervous too during my SPM but thankfully with God's guidance, I managed to achieve the grades I wanted and dreamed of. This proves that you are capable of doing anything if you put your all into it without a doubt. Ignore people who tell you that you cannot achieve what you want. There's no point listening to people who try to belittle your dreams. They are wrong because they have no idea of how it feels to be YOU and you are special. You HAVE TO believe in yourself even if nobody else will. That is the only path to success.
Sometimes we tend to go off board and suddenly you realise that you have been wasting the time you had. Exams are near, you are feeling scared because you really want to do well. I praise you for realising it now. That's why you are reading this right? Well you should feel lucky because some people do not realise it at all.
#1 Relax.
How do you want to study if you feel panicked? Remind yourself that exams are not everything in this world. Even if you do not do well it does not mean you are a worthless person. If anybody is telling you this, I am saying that you are not worthless at all. You tried and you did not achieve it. Its ok life goes on and you will do better next time in the future. Maybe it will make you work harder later on right? Always always tell your mind positive things, read motivational quotes on success and say good things to yourself. I do not like to hear people say "I am stupid". Do you know how much you are hurting your self-confidence by telling your mind that negative statement. Please don't especially when an exam is drawing near. Ok? :)
#2 Plan well
Before you start any studying, spend at least 1 hour just to plan your entire schedule starting from that particular day till the day of your exam. Get a clean piece of paper and write down:
#3 Practice discipline. Stop giving reasons.
Once you have plan do it. Would you like your partner to plan a romantic date and then cancel it off when its time to go?? Its really disappointing especially if you're all dressed up. So don't do this in reality as well. Do what you have planned. Maybe do a little less or a lot more than what you have planned but at the end of the day, you must do it. No excuse!
#4 Do not give up
Along the way, there will be a point when you feel I'm studying so hard yet its difficult to understand or hard to remember. Its ok don't give up. Maybe you are just tired and emotional. Maybe you are prepared to even take the test earlier than everybody but you do not know that. You still feel that you are not doing enough. Don't give up too early. Just pray to God to give you inner strength and read motivational quotes. Speak to someone who can boost your motivation. It really helps. But remember do not say anything negative about yourself.
#5 Do your best and leave it to God
Study hard and smart till the night of exam. On the day of exam don't be so chilled but just refer a little bit to notes if anything pops to your mind and you are unsure. Once you have studied, put in all your effort and prayed, is there possibly anything else you can do? No my dear. I am proud that you have done your part so now there's nothing else you should do but wait patiently for exam results. May you pray that God has blessed the knowledge you have learnt and grant you with the results you deserve. Amin

Before you start any studying, spend at least 1 hour just to plan your entire schedule starting from that particular day till the day of your exam. Get a clean piece of paper and write down:
- The days left with some space to fill in what you should do each day till the day of exam.
- In another piece of paper,write down all the subjects you need to study.
- Under each subject, write down all the things you need to do for that subject. Do not leave anything behind and write it all down in that paper. You will feel more relieved to see that and you can cancel it off one by one once you do it.
- Back to the first paper with 'day' columns, fill in each day with 1 subject or 2. I do not put in too many subjects for a day so i can focus and my mind will not jump from 1 thing to another. This is how I stay focus.
- Under each subject, list down the specific thing you have to do for that subject.
